Oral and maxillofacial surgeons, a super speciality in dentistry, will now be allowed to perform aesthetic surgeries and hair transplant procedures.
The Dental Council of India (DCI), a statutory body of dentists, issued guidelines for this practice recently.
The move would bring about a major change in the hair transplant . Along with dental treatment, hair transplant facility will soon be available in government or private dental clinics.
Maharashtra State Dental Councilmembers said it is likely to take some time to introduce this new department in government dental hospitals.
